Searching the Oasis is the second stage ofOriginull Wasteland inKirby and the Forgotten Land. In this stage, Kirby explores the dried-up remnant of a luxury hotel, dodging toxic goop created by the residentPoison Croakoms and sidesteppingTotengas. Near the end, Kirby has an opportunity to useWater-Balloon Mouth to clean up the sludge and defeat the Poison Croakoms.

There are two Capsules from Vol. 1 and one from Vol. 2 to collect in this stage, and fivemissions to complete. There are a total of 11 Waddle Dees to rescue here, when including the mission objectives. Theblueprint forBuzz-Saw Cutter can be found in this stage.

Stage overview[edit]

This stage is broken up into three main areas and a hidden side area accessible from the third main area.

In the first area, Kirby runs around a dried-up courtyard, and will need to keep on his toes as he battles enemies and navigates around toxic sludge. Near the end, he spots a source of this sludge: aPoison Croakom, who he will have to avoid as he heads to theWarp Star to move on to the next area.

In the second area, Kirby moves along a narrow path, where lots ofTotengas attempt to block him. Along this path, right after the Totenga ambush at the ring of toxic goop, Kirby can find a blueprint forBuzz-Saw Cutter if he searches behind the main path. After dodging another Poison Croakom, Kirby can head through a door to the next area, though there is another path to take if Kirby looks for a ladder.

In the third area, Kirby needs to head up a series of steppes, guarded byDigguhs and more Poison Croakoms, one of which spits at him from an elevated position. Along this path, Kirby can find a water pipe and use it to gainWater-Balloon Mouth. Using this, Kirby can finally clean up the sludge and defeat the Poison Croakoms that were harassing him. From here, he can waddle over to the gold cage, past its last defenders.

Differences between difficulties[edit]

There do not appear to be any differences in the number of enemies between Spring-Breeze Mode and Wild Mode in this stage.

Missions[edit]

• "Clear the stage" - Kirby must complete the stage.
• "Save the hidden Waddle Dees" - Kirby must find and rescue the five hidden Waddle Dees in silver cages. Their locations are as follows:

  • Waddle Dee 2: This Waddle Dee can be found in the second area, by finding a ladder up a tall platform in the area with the Poison Croakom.
  • Waddle Dee 3: This Waddle Dee can be found by usingDome Mouth to pry off a dome just past where the second Waddle Dee is. From there, Kirby needs to head down the chute and then usePipe Mouth to clear a jumping challenge.
  • Waddle Dee 4: This Waddle Dee can be found in the "secret room" accessible from the third main area, by first cleaning up the toxic goo in the way, and then usingDrill to get under the fence. In the secret room, Kirby needs to dig up all fiveCollect Pieces from the passing dirt patches.
